The aim of this study was to analyze the relationships between asbestos exposure and pulmonary carcinoid tumors. METHODS A retrospective case-control study was conducted in 28 cases undergoing surgery for pulmonary carcinoid tumors and a...

Recent evidence has revealed that the overall incidence of carcinoid tumors has been steadily increasing, and although the disease was thought to be relatively benign, it is now considered one of...
متن کاملInfrequent Mutations of the p53 Gene in Pulmonary Carcinoid Tumors
Archival specimens of 25 pulmonary carcinoids including 15 cases of typical carcinoid, 9 atypical carcinoids, and 1 large-cell nenroendocrine carcinoma were analyzed for mutations in exons 5 to 8 of the p53 gene. Mutations were identified in 4 tumors, including 3 out of 15 (20%) typical carcinoids and the single large-cell neuroendocrine carcinoma, but none of the atypical carcinomas showed a m...
